About This Event

'Strange Architecture' will take place at The Pleasance Edinburgh on 15 November 2026. Poets Kevin P. Gilday and JL Williams will read from their works inspired by architecture and the human stories behind it, reflecting on how the spaces we inhabit influence our lives.

After being selected as a UNESCO City of Literature Writer in Residence 2025 for Prague, Kevin P. Gilday spent two months living and writing in the city, working on a poetry cycle inspired by the city’s brutalist buildings and the human stories behind them. Reading alongside him is poet and librettist JL Williams, whose most recent collection, Strange Architectures, details her nightly dreams of buildings and architectural sites over the initial year of lockdown. In this reading chaired by Sam Tongue, both poets will reflect on how the spaces we inhabit impact and inform our lives within them.
